The El Paso Police Department arrested 19 people on driving while intoxicated cases during the weekend.

From midnight Friday to midnight Sunday, the police department arrested and investigated 19 people on suspicion of DWI and DWI-related offenses in El Paso.

El Paso Police Department spokesperson Darryl Petry said the number could have been higher.

"We've had bigger," Petry said. "We didn't get Sunday's full boat. Most people consider Sunday night's end at 6 a.m."

Out of the total, nine cases were alleged DWI offenses, seven were for alleged blood alcohol content exceeding 0.15, one was a third DWI arrest, one was a second DWI arrest, and one was for having an open container in the car.
